Lightsaber

General 

Elliott was very good today. There was a bit of being silly with Harry Higgins but anytime I asked him to calm down because he was doing something slightly too over the top he responded really well. He had a lot of fun with both Charlie Sladen and Harry and there was lots of giggling.

Activities

In the morning we went to the Sladens where Elliott played with Charlie Sladen (and Alice Sladen a little) really nicely. Lots of Star Wars toys and he took some toys to show Charlie too. They even did a toy swap without any drama - which was great after the last time it had gone a bit wrong. So we have a toy lightsaber at the moment. We went back to Downton for lunch of hot dogs with Granny.        

After lunch he did some baking with Granny and Andrea that went very well and we have some cakes to take to school for the Phillipines cake sale homework. I helped a little bit but also watched the Everton verses Liverpool game. Then we headed into Salisbury where we met up with Matt and Harry Higgins in Elizabeth Gardens where they both played in the park really nicely for quite a while. Then we all headed in to Salisbury to look at the Christmas lights and as we popped in to the toy shop to look around Harry's second wobbly tooth ever came out which was exciting. On the way back to the car we all had a cone of chips each which Elliott really enjoyed. After bath time he read another of his school books really well and we read about dinosaurs before bed time.
